3 Legged Buck...
I got these pictures of a 3 legged buck. My buddies and I are discussing rather it was shot off or born that way. Anyone have any thoughts to add?

It looks like it might have been born that way.
Look at his antlers, they arent deformed any.
I allways heard when a deer is injured the antlers on one side will be deformed.
I could be wrong.
What ever has happened, he has adapted very well.
Only one way to find out, shoot him while hunting.
Good Luck.

I would guess shot off, frontal shot just about blew the leg off and it probably just rotted on off. A friend of mine shot a doe early last season and he admitted he clipped the leg. Close by we had pictures of a doe later in the season that fit the description that had three legs, looked a lot like that bucks leg area.
